Full details
The Regatta Aceana Bikini Shorts are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and stylish beachwear with added sun protection. The key benefit is the UPF 50+ rating, offering significant sun safety. A potential consideration is that these are shorts designed to be worn over swimwear, not as standalone bottoms. They feature a soft-touch stretch fabric, a flattering cut that sits above the hip, and come in various prints including a signature Regatta stripe.

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade fabric performance.
UPF protection seems reduced.
